One of our favorite parts of Christmas is the time we get to spend with family. We have our old traditions like the tree and gifts, then we like to change it up and create new traditions. Our theory is as long as you are with family, it's Christmas. This year we will be making a trip to the pool for a little holiday swimming. Who knows, next year we may end up at the beach! One tradition we started a few years ago was the Christmas pajamas. It's never anything fancy, just a simple pair of pjs, but the kids always enjoy it. We live in a society that tells us the more we love our family, the bigger the gift should be. For our family, the joy seems to exist in the small things. A take-out dinner while we watch a Christmas movie. Hours of conversation about anything and everything. Papa spending time in the workshop with the kids making their latest invention. Watching the deer, turkey, and wild animals out the window. No stress, no worries, just a wonderful family Christmas.
